This video has been removed due to terms of use violation.

and the reason i think why all these two videos have been removed is that
the account is suspended.  the info on this can be found here

Sorry to say the punkcast YouTube account is currently suspended.
http://youtube.com/wwwhatsup

As you may know it contains around 700 clips, mainly of the NYC music scene,
but also of local internet related events including public hearings of the
NYC Council's
Committee on Technology in Government. It has had approaching 3 million
views.

YouTube has a policy of suspending accounts of repeat copyright offenders
and I just got my 3rd strike.

Almost laughably it was a DMCA takedown from Richard Hell over some
footage I shot of him talking about his next record at a book signing a
couple of
weeks back. I plonked a mic in front of him and told him I was shooting for
webcast,
The clip was of conversation as I waited for him to start reading.
He didn't say anything in particular beyond what went out in his recent
press release about
the record i.e. it's redubbed version of an old record that he wasn't happy
with. I posted
it with a link to his pr. Thought I was being helpful. I'd earlier posted a
similar clip of him
reading from his new book, and his co-author even posted it on his blog.

I've filed a counter-notice and, if and when the account get's re-instated
I'll remove the clip.

I'd had two previous DMCA's recently, collateral damage in YouTube's ongoing
war with
Warner's and Viacom, both on song publishing.
Hot Stuff - Von Iva - Warners
Let's Make Love and Listen to Death From Above - Cansei der sei Sexy -
Viacom
I didn't contest these, altho I did have casual permission from the band who
are
the composers on the latter.

On the second occasion YT made me check off that I understood copyright.

In one other case where infringement was found through YouTube audio
matching - a clip of K8 Hardy karaokeing Joan Armatrading -
http://www.punkcast.com/1132/ - the record label
allowed it to sit while they collected revenue from ads displayed on the
page.

I have, in the past, removed clips by request of musicians not happy with
their performance
as a matter of course. Normally they just contact me through YouTube and
ask.

I appreciate the irony of the DIY site punkcast being taken down by arguably
the originator of punk style using entirely establishment means.
